Have you registered for the 2019 Connect-a-Thon yet? [closed]

Question

Registration is now open for our 2019 Connect-a-Thon! 

This is our first annual Connect-a-Thon. Our goal is to decrease the number of profiles that are not connected to our big tree by adding relatives to existing profiles.

The event will start on Friday, July 12, at 8 AM (EDT) and run until Monday, July 15, at 8 AM (EDT).

Will you join us?

To register, just click the ANSWER button and say "Sign me up!" or whatever and include a few words about your location and/or genealogical interests. This will help us assign you to a team. If you already know what team you'd like to be on, say that. The current teams are listed here. There are a few new ones and more may be added.

Ignored.  Sarah is officially entered now on a team

Oh good! The hullaballoo is this weekend!

---

If I join what exactly will I be doing.  I believe all my ancestors have already been added.

---

maybe your ancestors are added but how about everyone of their descendants? Your great grandfather's daughter's 9 children from 2 husbands might be missing. Then there are the pieces of branches not connected to the tree. Parents, spouses, siblings, and children need to be filled in to allow more connections.

---

Yes, I'd like to participate. First marathon for me and looking for a team! I live in the Madison, Wisconsin area. Let's connect some profiles!

---

Isaac, you need to go back to the top of the page, click on the ANSWER spot at the end of Eowyn's paragraph and then you can be registered.  Pick a team at the same time if you have one in mind.

---

Fixed thanks!

---

Why is the registration closed ahead of the event? I just read about this and have over 300.000 people in my tree so I could be a good contributor. Disappointed.

---

Because we need a day to finalize the teams and send out information to the participants. Sorry you missed the deadline!

---

Sad but admins need time to add everyone to event reporting & Team captains need time to contact new teammates and add them to their team pages. We're all volunteers!

But we hope you can join us in the fall for our next weekend event!
